A suspect in the death of a man who was struck and killed by oncoming New York subway train has been arrested and charged in the case, according to the New York Police Department.

Naeem Davis, a 30-year-old homeless man, has been charged with murder and attempted murder in the death of 58-year-old Ki-Suck Han, who was struck by a train after he allegedly was shoved onto the tracks during an altercation at a New York subway platform.

Davis has been in police custody since Tuesday.

A photo of the victim, desperately clawing at the platform shortly before he was struck, was published this week by the New York Post, embroiling the paper and the photographer in a controversy over whether the picture should have been taken and published.

I would like to know how a station FILLED with people watching this altercation unravel had nobody, not one single person help this poor man up. Every person who witnessed this man's tragic death should be just as ashamed as the photographer and editor who decided to run this story. Some people have no sympathy I suppose.

I'm not here to start a racial discusion, but this situation leaves me wondering. Had the late Mr. Han been a white man, would bystanders have stopped the altercation before he was pushed on to the track?
